This unique exhibition allows visitors to see Renoir’s paintings in a completely different light at the Langmatt Museum in the town of Baden, close to the city of Zurich.
The exhibition explores how Impressionist paintings would look without a frame, or in a completely different frame than is traditional. There is frequent debate about the effect of frames on paintings, and many in the public are divided between seeing the paintings in a unique way or in the traditional frame. This exhibition brings this debate to life, making it the perfect place to compare the different perspectives.
This exhibition includes a special app, where visitors can take selected paintings and place them in a plethora of frames or on different backgrounds to experience the art in multiple ways.
